Shower tray repair in Penilee

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

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.

Shower tray repair at your home in Penilee

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

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

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Penilee

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from Penilee

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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 quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
