Shower tray repair in Ellon

Shower tray repair in Ellon without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ellon

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

The entire UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are there extra charges for Ellon?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ellon?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in Ellon contact us include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
