How we handle shower tray repair in Dunswell

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Dunswell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Dunswell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Dunswell: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
