Shower tray repair near Shiskine

Questions from Shiskine

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

About our shower tray repair in Shiskine

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiskine use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

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

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Shiskine and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shiskine. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
