Shower tray repair in Burghmuirhead

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in Burghmuirhead, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Burghmuirhead: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Everywhere in the UK, Burghmuirhead included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Burghmuirhead?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Burghmuirhead. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burghmuirhead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
