Shower tray repair in Kelso

How we handle shower tray repair in Kelso

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelso

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelso as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

FAQs for Kelso

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kelso, and we will reply with a fixed price.
