Signs you need shower tray repair in Muirhead

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What affects the price in Muirhead

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Muirhead. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not 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.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Muirhead

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Muirhead?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
