Shower tray repair in Melrose

Shower tray repair in Melrose without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

FAQs for Melrose

Will there be a smell?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Melrose?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Melrose?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Melrose. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Melrose

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Melrose, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
