Shower tray repair in Kilmuir without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Kilmuir

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kilmuir. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Kilmuir: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Kilmuir?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
