Shower tray repair at your home in Oban

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Oban?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Oban clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about shower tray repair in Oban

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Oban. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oban. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Oban

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Oban

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Oban

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
