How we handle shower tray repair in Burgh Muir

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burgh Muir and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burgh Muir. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burgh Muir. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Burgh Muir questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Burgh Muir

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
