Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What affects the price in Aberchirder

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Aberchirder

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Aberchirder

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Aberchirder

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberchirder use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

The process

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

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

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