Shower tray repair near Loanhead

Shower tray repair in Loanhead without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Loanhead

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

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

  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Loanhead

For anyone letting property in or around Loanhead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
