What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Shower tray repair at your home in Kirkton

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kirkton?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Kirkton

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
