How we handle shower tray repair in An Druim Beag

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in An Druim Beag

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in An Druim Beag, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
