Common questions in Budhill

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Budhill

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Budhill

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
