Shower tray repair near Ardbeg

Landlord and trade work in Ardbeg

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardbeg use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Shower tray repair in Ardbeg, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, across enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardbeg

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Ardbeg questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Ardbeg is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we are called out for in Ardbeg

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically 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. 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Most customers in Ardbeg get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
