Trusted shower tray repair in Ninewells

How we handle shower tray repair in Ninewells

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

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

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

We price from pictures 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ninewells

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
