Shower tray repair for Strichen homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Strichen

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a cracked shower tray.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

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

What affects the price in Strichen

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Strichen. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common problems we fix in Strichen

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Strichen

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
