Shower tray repair in Cardonald

How we handle shower tray repair in Cardonald

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Cardonald

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cardonald. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Cardonald

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Cardonald contact us are:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
