10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Common questions in Cardross

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover the entire of West Dunbartonshire?

All of West Dunbartonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you work in Cardross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cardross and the rest of West Dunbartonshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cardross. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cardross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
