Shower tray repair near New Lanark

Aftercare tips

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

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in New Lanark without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

New Lanark questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for New Lanark. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
