Fairmilehead questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Shower tray repair in Fairmilehead, done in place
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Fairmilehead
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Fairmilehead
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairmilehead
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Fairmilehead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
