Shower tray repair in Dysart

Shower tray repair in Dysart without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Dysart questions

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dysart, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Dysart?

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote
