Shower tray repair for Gorseness homes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Shower tray repair in Gorseness, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gorseness and across the Orkney Islands.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gorseness. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorseness use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gorseness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Gorseness clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Do you need shower tray repair in Gorseness?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
