Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Common problems we fix in Darvel
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Darvel
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darvel use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repair or replace in Darvel?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Questions from Darvel
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
