Need shower tray repair in Lochluichart?

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Lochluichart

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lochluichart?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochluichart as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
