How we handle shower tray repair in Blochairn

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, in acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to compare quotes

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 can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Blochairn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Blochairn questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
