How we handle shower tray repair in Saltcoats

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Saltcoats and across North Ayrshire.

Landlord and trade work in Saltcoats

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Saltcoats

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Saltcoats

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How soon can you come?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Saltcoats

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
