FAQs for Wanlockhead

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wanlockhead.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Wanlockhead

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wanlockhead as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When to call us in Wanlockhead

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wanlockhead, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wanlockhead

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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
