Questions from Tarland

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Tarland?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Tarland?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Tarland

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
