About our shower tray repair in Elie

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Elie?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Elie

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Elie

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Elie questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Elie?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
