About our shower tray repair in Cowglen

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cowglen and across Glasgow.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Cowglen

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
