About our shower tray repair in Biggar

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Biggar and across Cumbria.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Biggar

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Biggar?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Biggar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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