When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Repair or replace in Ardchattan?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
