The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newbigging

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Newbigging

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

Repairing versus replacing in Newbigging

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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