Shower tray repair in Birnam

About our shower tray repair in Birnam

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Birnam

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we’re called out for in Birnam

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What affects the price in Birnam

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Birnam: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
