Shower tray repair in East Calder, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Calder

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Calder. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 early repairs help.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

East Calder questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

Across the UK, and that includes East Calder. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
