Shower tray repair at your home in Dingwall

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

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

Questions from Dingwall

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

Across the UK, so Dingwall is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

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.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dingwall?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Dingwall

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

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

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Dingwall

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
