Shower tray repair for Countesswells homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Countesswells

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Countesswells questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeen?

We cover the whole UK, including Countesswells and the rest of Aberdeen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need shower tray repair in Countesswells?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
