Shower tray repair in Terregles

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair in Terregles, 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. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Terregles

What areas do you cover?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Terregles

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When to call us in Terregles

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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. 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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
