Questions from Braeside

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you cover the entire of Inverclyde?

All of Inverclyde, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How we handle shower tray repair in Braeside

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Braeside

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Braeside. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Braeside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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