Shower tray repair near Lochhill

Shower tray repair at your home in Lochhill

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

When to call us in Lochhill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lochhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
