Shower tray repair near Kirkcudbright

Shower tray repair in Kirkcudbright, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Questions from Kirkcudbright

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kirkcudbright.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkcudbright

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
