Shower tray repair for Letham homes

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair at your home in Letham

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Letham

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price 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.

Why Letham customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Letham

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you work in Letham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Letham and the rest of Perth and Kinross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Letham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
