Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Glamis

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. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Glamis. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Repairing versus replacing in Glamis

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about shower tray repair in Glamis

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
