Trusted shower tray repair in St Abbs

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair at your home in St Abbs

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in St Abbs

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common questions in St Abbs

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Do you cover St Abbs?

We do. We send a technician to St Abbs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for St Abbs?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in St Abbs

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures 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. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St Abbs. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in St Abbs, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
