FAQs for Inverness

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Shower tray repair at your home in Inverness

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Inverness and the surrounding area

Inverness (Gaelic: Inbhir Nis) is in Highland. From the centre of Inverness to the outlying streets, the service is the same: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Inverness is one of 253 places in Highland we cover.

All of IV2, IV3 and IV1 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From High Street, Market Brae and Falcon Square or a nearby road, we can come to you. Main roads around Inverness include the A9 and A82, which makes travel easy. If you are just outside Inverness, we cover Ballifeary (1 mile west), Crown (1 mile north-east), Hilton (1 mile south-east), Millburn (1 mile north-east) and Lochardil (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Nairn (15 miles north-east), Cradlehall (3 miles east), Dingwall (12 miles north-west), Muir of Ord (9 miles west), Fortrose (8 miles north-east) and Conon Bridge (10 miles north-west). Inverness is one of the larger places we cover in Highland. Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

When to call us in Inverness

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inverness

If you manage property in Inverness, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
