Shower tray repair in Taobh Lochaidh, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Taobh Lochaidh. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Taobh Lochaidh

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
