Need shower tray repair in Garrowhill?

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Garrowhill, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Garrowhill

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

When to call us in Garrowhill

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Garrowhill

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G69 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

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

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
