Shower tray repair for Stoneykirk homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Shower tray repair in Stoneykirk without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stoneykirk and across Dumfries and Galloway.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoneykirk

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

What affects the price in Stoneykirk

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Stoneykirk

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stoneykirk

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

The process

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

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
