When to call us in Banchory

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Banchory. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
