Trusted shower tray repair in Penicuik

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Shower tray repair in Penicuik without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from Penicuik

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Penicuik?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penicuik

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Midlothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Penicuik?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
