Shower tray repair at your home in High Dubmire
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for High Dubmire. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in High Dubmire?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
High Dubmire: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in High Dubmire.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in High Dubmire, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.
