Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Ayrshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Shower tray repair in Benslie without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.
For a rural address like Benslie, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Benslie
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Benslie?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Replacement in Benslie means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Honest limits

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy. In a village or hamlet like Benslie, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
