Shower tray repair in Sauchieburn

Shower tray repair at your home in Sauchieburn

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Sauchieburn

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sauchieburn. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sauchieburn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Questions from Sauchieburn

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sauchieburn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
