Landlord and trade work in Dunston
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When to call us in Dunston
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before booking anyone

- How your room will be protected
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Dunston
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Dunston, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
Dunston questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dunston included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
