Shower tray repair in Blairninich

Shower tray repair in Blairninich without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Blairninich

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Blairninich, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Blairninich: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
