Shower tray repair in Mintlaw

Shower tray repair in Mintlaw, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Mintlaw

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mintlaw use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Mintlaw

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mintlaw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
