Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Shower tray repair at your home in Sprouston

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right.

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

Common questions in Sprouston

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

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.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sprouston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What affects the price in Sprouston

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Sprouston 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
