Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Ardbrecknish

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Repairs by material

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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
