Shower tray repair for Dalmuir homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dalmuir

How we handle shower tray repair in Dalmuir

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

Questions from Dalmuir

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dalmuir?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Dalmuir

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
