About our shower tray repair in Lugton

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Lugton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lugton

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.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Lugton

How do I book?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
