What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Staxigoe

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Staxigoe

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Staxigoe.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Common problems we fix in Staxigoe

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.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Staxigoe

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
