Landlords, agents and businesses in Sanndabhaig

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Shower tray repair at your home in Sanndabhaig

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Sanndabhaig: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Sanndabhaig?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Na h-Eileanan Siar, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sanndabhaig. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sanndabhaig

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
