How we handle shower tray repair in Ardlui

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardlui

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. 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 few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What we are called out for in Ardlui

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
