Book shower tray repair in Restalrig

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Restalrig. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For landlords and businesses

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.

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Restalrig

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common questions in Restalrig

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH7 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
