About our shower tray repair in Lower Dimson

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Dimson

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Dimson use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lower Dimson

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

When to call us in Lower Dimson

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
