Shower tray repair for Priestland homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Priestland

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common problems we fix in Priestland

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Priestland questions

Do you cover the entire of East Ayrshire?

The entire UK, including all of East Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Priestland

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Priestland, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

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

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
