Shower tray repair in Rothes

Shower tray repair at your home in Rothes

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rothes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Rothes

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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