It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Shower tray repair at your home in Uphall

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Uphall. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Uphall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Uphall and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Materials we work on in Uphall

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uphall use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Questions from Uphall

How much does shower tray repair cost in Uphall?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
