Shower tray repair in Boghead

What we are called out for in Boghead

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Boghead without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boghead

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boghead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we work on in Boghead

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Questions from Boghead

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
