Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

About our shower tray repair in Muirhouses

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Muirhouses. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Muirhouses

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Muirhouses.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Muirhouses

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
