What we are called out for in Polmadie

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Polmadie

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Common questions in Polmadie

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
