How we handle shower tray repair in Dunton Bassett

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dunton Bassett

Do you come to Dunton Bassett?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dunton Bassett for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Dunton Bassett

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunton Bassett

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
