Shower tray repair in Callands

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

About our shower tray repair in Callands

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about shower tray repair in Callands

Can tenants book a repair?

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

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Repairing versus replacing in Callands

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Callands

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we’re called out for in Callands

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

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

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
