How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kaimhill. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Kaimhill

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Kaimhill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

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 normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
