How we handle shower tray repair in Auchterderran

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Auchterderran

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you work in Auchterderran?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Auchterderran and the rest of Fife. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Auchterderran

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Auchterderran

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
