About our shower tray repair in Strathblane

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Strathblane

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

When to call us in Strathblane

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Strathblane

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stirling and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
