Signs you need shower tray repair in Middle Dimson

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

FAQs for Middle Dimson

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Middle Dimson. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Middle Dimson?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
