Landlord and trade work in Carronshore

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. 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 Falkirk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Carronshore, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Carronshore, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carronshore

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Carronshore?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover Carronshore?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carronshore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Carronshore

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
