Shower tray repair at your home in Whitehouse

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. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Whitehouse: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whitehouse?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PA29 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
