About our shower tray repair in Stornoway

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Common questions in Stornoway

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Stornoway.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When to call us in Stornoway

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Stornoway

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
