Book shower tray repair in Tweedbank

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Tweedbank

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Tweedbank?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tweedbank and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
