Shower tray repair near Coltness

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Coltness

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Coltness and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather 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 redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Coltness?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ML2 postcode.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Coltness?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
