Shower tray repair in Plockton without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Plockton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Plockton. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Plockton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Plockton

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Plockton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Plockton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Plockton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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