How to compare quotes

Shower tray repair in Tongue without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Tongue questions

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Tongue

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
