How we handle shower tray repair in Aird

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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

Questions from Aird

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Aird?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aird and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
