When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Ruisgarry

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Look out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

FAQs for Ruisgarry

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Ruisgarry?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ruisgarry. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
