Questions from Palnure

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Palnure

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Palnure

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace in Palnure?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

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 a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
