Shower tray repair in Windygates

Shower tray repair in Windygates, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Questions from Windygates

Are you accredited?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Fife.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Windygates is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KY8 postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Windygates

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
