Shower tray repair near Fortrose

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

About our shower tray repair in Fortrose

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Fortrose and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Fortrose

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we are called out for in Fortrose

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Fortrose

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV10 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fortrose.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What affects the price in Fortrose

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fortrose. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
