Shower tray repair near Invergowrie

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle shower tray repair in Invergowrie

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Invergowrie and across Dundee.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Invergowrie

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
