Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Dunster without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Dunster

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Dunster?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dunster

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
