How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Auchencairn

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Auchencairn. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Do you need shower tray repair in Auchencairn?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
