Why repair rather than replace?

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Shower tray repair in Lochardil without replacing anything
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. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lochardil?

Common reasons people in Lochardil contact us are:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochardil
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
