Shower tray repair in Carsphairn, done in place
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you have damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
In a village like Carsphairn, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Carsphairn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it. In a village or hamlet like Carsphairn, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carsphairn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Carsphairn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Older homes around Carsphairn may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
