Shower tray repair for Shotts homes

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Shower tray repair in Shotts without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and damage around the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Shotts

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Shotts

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Shotts.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Shotts?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shotts and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Shotts, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
