Need shower tray repair in Castle Kennedy?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

About our shower tray repair in Castle Kennedy

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Castle Kennedy?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Castle Kennedy questions

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
