What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Earlsferry. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle shower tray repair in Earlsferry

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Earlsferry

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Common problems we fix in Earlsferry

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
