Shower tray repair in Airth

Common problems we fix in Airth

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Shower tray repair in Airth, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Airth

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Falkirk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Airth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Airth

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Airth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Falkirk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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