Shower tray repair for Lochore homes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Shower tray repair in Lochore without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Common problems we fix in Lochore

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

FAQs for Lochore

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Lochore?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lochore. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
