About our shower tray repair in Cumnock

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cumnock

Do you cover Cumnock?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cumnock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you cover the entire of East Ayrshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Cumnock included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What we’re called out for in Cumnock

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Cumnock

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Cumnock customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
