Shower tray repair in Strathwhillan, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strathwhillan as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Strathwhillan

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Strathwhillan: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the whole of North Ayrshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Strathwhillan. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Strathwhillan. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we’re called out for in Strathwhillan

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
