Shower tray repair near Castlebay

Shower tray repair in Castlebay without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Castlebay and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Castlebay?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Castlebay?

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
