Do you need shower tray repair in Sinclairston?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How we handle shower tray repair in Sinclairston

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, across acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sinclairston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sinclairston

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Sinclairston: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Sinclairston?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
