Shower tray repair for Àird homes

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Shower tray repair at your home in Àird

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. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Àird

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Àird

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Àird. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Àird

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you come to Àird?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Àird for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
