Shower tray repair for Carrickstone homes

Repairing versus replacing in Carrickstone

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Shower tray repair in Carrickstone without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Carrickstone

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of North Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

What affects the price in Carrickstone

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Carrickstone

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
