Shower tray repair near Tillietudlem

Shower tray repair in Tillietudlem, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tillietudlem as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Tillietudlem questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

What areas do you cover?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Tillietudlem?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tillietudlem from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tillietudlem. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Tillietudlem

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
