Shower tray repair for Rutherglen homes

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Rutherglen, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Landlord and trade work in Rutherglen

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Rutherglen

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Rutherglen

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Rutherglen

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Rutherglen?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rutherglen and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
