Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Lumphinnans, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Lumphinnans

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lumphinnans?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lumphinnans as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
