Shower tray repair in Tillydrone

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

Shower tray repair at your home in Tillydrone

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tillydrone and across Aberdeen.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tillydrone, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Tillydrone

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Common questions in Tillydrone

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
