Shower tray repair in Old Kilpatrick

Common questions in Old Kilpatrick

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Old Kilpatrick

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

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

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Old Kilpatrick

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For anyone letting property in or around Old Kilpatrick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Dunbartonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Old Kilpatrick?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
