Shower tray repair for Lower Dicker homes

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Lower Dicker and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Lower Dicker: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Dicker

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
