Shower tray repair for Colmonell homes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle shower tray repair in Colmonell

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Colmonell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Colmonell

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Colmonell?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Colmonell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When to call us in Colmonell

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Colmonell?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Colmonell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Ayrshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
