Shower tray repair near Thorntonhall

About our shower tray repair in Thorntonhall

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Thorntonhall

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorntonhall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thorntonhall

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What areas do you cover?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorntonhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thorntonhall. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Thorntonhall?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
