Shower tray repair in Gillock

What affects the price in Gillock

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair in Gillock without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

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

Gillock questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Gillock. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover Gillock?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gillock and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Gillock

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need shower tray repair in Gillock?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
