Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cairnryan?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
