Book shower tray repair in Fairlie

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 trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How we handle shower tray repair in Fairlie

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairlie as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Are there extra charges for Fairlie?

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fairlie. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Fairlie, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fairlie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
