Shower tray repair for Rothesay homes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Shower tray repair in Rothesay without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rothesay. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Rothesay

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Common questions in Rothesay

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Rothesay?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rothesay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

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