Shower tray repair in Great Glen

Shower tray repair at your home in Great Glen

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Glen

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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 can be filled and matched.

When to call us in Great Glen

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
