Shower tray repair for Millmannoch homes

Shower tray repair in Millmannoch without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

What we are called out for in Millmannoch

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Millmannoch

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Millmannoch. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
