How we handle shower tray repair in Pollokshaws

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Pollokshaws get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Pollokshaws

For anyone letting property in or around Pollokshaws, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

FAQs for Pollokshaws

Everywhere in the UK, Pollokshaws included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

How much does shower tray repair cost in Pollokshaws?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairing versus replacing in Pollokshaws

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start 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 will get a fixed figure.
