FAQs for Bridge of Dee

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

Everywhere in the UK, Bridge of Dee included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Bridge of Dee, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Bridge of Dee

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bridge of Dee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

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.

Acrylic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bridge of Dee. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
