Shower tray repair in Ardrossan

Shower tray repair at your home in Ardrossan

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Ardrossan

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

FAQs for Ardrossan

Are there extra charges for Ardrossan?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Ardrossan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ardrossan and the rest of North Ayrshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardrossan

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardrossan use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
