Shower tray repair for Inbhir Aora homes

Shower tray repair in Inbhir Aora, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

Questions from Inbhir Aora

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inbhir Aora

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Inbhir Aora. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
