About our shower tray repair in Irvine

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Irvine questions

Do you work in Irvine?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Irvine for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What affects the price in Irvine

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Irvine, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
