Shower tray repair in Sauchen

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our shower tray repair in Sauchen

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

10 questions to ask before booking

Sauchen questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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