Shower tray repair for Skelmorlie homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle shower tray repair in Skelmorlie

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When to call us in Skelmorlie

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Repairing versus replacing in Skelmorlie

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Skelmorlie

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Do you cover the whole of North Ayrshire?

The whole UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
