Shower tray repair in Kinglassie

Shower tray repair in Kinglassie, 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’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kinglassie

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

Do you come to Kinglassie?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Kinglassie

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kinglassie. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Kinglassie get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
