About our shower tray repair in Dunston

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When to call us in Dunston

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Questions from Dunston

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dunston?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in Dunston

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
