Shower tray repair in North Connel without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in North Connel

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including North Connel. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole 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. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in North Connel

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
