Shower Tray Repair for Kirktonhill homes

- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirktonhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle shower tray repair in Kirktonhill
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns 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. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Kirktonhill
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of West Dunbartonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
