What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Kilmartin, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Kilmartin?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Kilmartin

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Kilmartin

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Kilmartin?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
