Shower tray repair in Letham

How we handle shower tray repair in Letham

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Letham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Letham questions

Do you come to Letham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Letham and the rest of Angus. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Letham and the rest of Angus. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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