When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Dunsdale
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Dunsdale
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
