Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, 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.

Common questions in Smeaton

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Lothian.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

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.

What affects the price in Smeaton

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Smeaton. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
