Carfin: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
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.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Carfin included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Carfin?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Carfin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Carfin?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Carfin
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carfin
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often 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.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Carfin
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
