Your questions about shower tray repair in Kirkoswald

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Shower tray repair at your home in Kirkoswald

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirkoswald. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Signs you need shower tray repair in Kirkoswald

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
