Trusted shower tray repair in Carryduff

Shower tray repair at your home in Carryduff

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 will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Carryduff

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Castlereagh?

Across the UK, and that includes Carryduff. Prices don’t change with location.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Carryduff?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carryduff. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Carryduff customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carryduff. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Carryduff and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
