The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in East Linton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in East Linton?

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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 often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Linton. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in East Linton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
