About our shower tray repair in Lochans

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Lochans: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Lochans?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lochans and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What we do, step by step

There is 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. The job generally runs to 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. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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 Lochans as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

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

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Lochans and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Lochans clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
