About our shower tray repair in Crombie

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Common questions in Crombie

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What information do you need?

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

When to call us in Crombie

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Crombie

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crombie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Crombie

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
