Shower tray repair in Cornhill

Cornhill questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeenshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Shower tray repair at your home in Cornhill

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cornhill and across Aberdeenshire.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cornhill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Cornhill customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cornhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
