How we handle shower tray repair in Mount Vernon

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Mount Vernon

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Mount Vernon?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Mount Vernon. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Do you need shower tray repair in Mount Vernon?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Mount Vernon?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mount Vernon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
