Trusted shower tray repair in Auchenheath

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure 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. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Auchenheath

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Auchenheath

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Questions from Auchenheath

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Auchenheath. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Auchenheath, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
