About our shower tray repair in Coalburn

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, across enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Coalburn

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coalburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Coalburn questions

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Coalburn?

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
