Shower tray repair for Johnshaven homes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

About our shower tray repair in Johnshaven

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Johnshaven

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Johnshaven, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How quickly can you book me in?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Landlord and trade work in Johnshaven

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Johnshaven use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
