About our shower tray repair in Dumbarton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dumbarton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dumbarton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Dumbarton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Dumbarton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Dumbarton

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

  • Stone resin

How to look after the repair

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
