Trusted shower tray repair in Luss

Shower tray repair at your home in Luss

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Luss

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Luss

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Luss, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Luss

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to Luss?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Luss for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
