How we handle shower tray repair in Finnieston

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Finnieston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Finnieston

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Finnieston. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Finnieston: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

Is there any odour?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you need shower tray repair in Finnieston?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
