Shower tray repair for Bathgate homes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Bathgate without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bathgate

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
