Shower tray repair for Gladsmuir homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Gladsmuir

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Gladsmuir

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gladsmuir

How long does it take to cure?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
