When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Sanquhar

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Sanquhar

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sanquhar

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from Sanquhar

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sanquhar?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

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