How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Unthank

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Unthank

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Unthank and the rest of Angus. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

When can you do it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

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

Rinse the tray down after showering, 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 cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Unthank

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
