Shower tray repair near Strathy

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Shower tray repair at your home in Strathy

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and damage around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Strathy

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Strathy. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Strathy

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

Landlord and trade work in Strathy

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strathy as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Strathy

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. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
