Shower tray repair in Newbridge Drive

Shower tray repair at your home in Newbridge Drive

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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.

Questions from Newbridge Drive

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Newbridge Drive?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A damaged area around the waste

  • Movement when you stand on it
