Shower tray repair at your home in Cowdenbeath

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cowdenbeath

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Cowdenbeath: your questions answered

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Cowdenbeath?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Cowdenbeath get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.
