Shower tray repair in Wilkieston

About our shower tray repair in Wilkieston

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Wilkieston, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Wilkieston: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Common problems we fix in Wilkieston

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Wilkieston

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wilkieston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilkieston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
