About our shower tray repair in Kippen

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kippen. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kippen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Kippen, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Kippen

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kippen?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Stirling. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

When to call us in Kippen

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Kippen?

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. 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, 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 early repairs help.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
