Shower tray repair for Ravenstruther homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Ravenstruther

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 will explain what we find. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ravenstruther

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

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

Do you work in Ravenstruther?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ravenstruther from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Common problems we fix in Ravenstruther

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
