Shower tray repair in Inverkip

Shower tray repair at your home in Inverkip

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Inverkip

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Inverkip

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Inverkip?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Inverkip?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PA16 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Inverkip

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

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

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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