How we handle shower tray repair in Lochcarron

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lochcarron as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Lochcarron

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lochcarron

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Questions from Lochcarron

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lochcarron included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you come to Lochcarron?

We do. We send a technician to Lochcarron for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lochcarron. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Lochcarron?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lochcarron

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer 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. 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
