Shower tray repair for Auchinstarry homes

Shower tray repair in Auchinstarry, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Most customers in Auchinstarry get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Auchinstarry

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Auchinstarry clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
