Repairing versus replacing in Gairloch

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Gairloch

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gairloch, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Gairloch

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Gairloch: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gairloch. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
