How we handle shower tray repair in Gartly

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Gartly

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

When to call us in Gartly

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

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Common questions in Gartly

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you work in Gartly?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gartly. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Gartly get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
