About our shower tray repair in Girvan
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders

Girvan questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA26 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What affects the price in Girvan
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Girvan
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
