About our shower tray repair in Crossford

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Questions from Crossford

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Crossford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Crossford

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Crossford

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crossford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
