Trusted shower tray repair in Nethermill

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Shower tray repair in Nethermill, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Nethermill and across Dumfries and Galloway.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Nethermill

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nethermill

For anyone letting property in or around Nethermill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
