How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our shower tray repair in Kilmuir

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

FAQs for Kilmuir

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kilmuir?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IV18 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we are called out for in Kilmuir

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • 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.
