Your questions about shower tray repair in Loaningfoot

How do I book?

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

We cover the whole UK, including Loaningfoot and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Shower tray repair in Loaningfoot, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loaningfoot as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Loaningfoot

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

What affects the price in Loaningfoot

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Loaningfoot. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Loaningfoot, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
