Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we handle shower tray repair in Inverugie

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Inverugie

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Common questions in Inverugie

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Inverugie included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Inverugie?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
