Shower tray repair in Dunblane

What we cannot put right

We’d 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
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Dunblane

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

Shower tray repair in Dunblane, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dunblane and across Stirling.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Landlord and trade work in Dunblane

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunblane use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Dunblane questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we’re called out for in Dunblane

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
