Shower tray repair for Alford homes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

About our shower tray repair in Alford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, across stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Alford questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Alford

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Alford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Alford

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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