Shower tray repair near Dalkeith

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dalkeith. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dalkeith, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

About our shower tray repair in Dalkeith

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Dalkeith?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

Landlord and trade work in Dalkeith

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalkeith as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dalkeith

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
