Shower tray repair near Crathes

Shower tray repair in Crathes, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crathes. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crathes, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Crathes?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crathes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
