Kilmelford and nearby
Kilmelford is about 34 miles north-west of Helensburgh, in Argyll and Bute. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Kilmelford is one of 118 towns and villages in Argyll and Bute where we work. Our jobs stretch from Kilmelford to Glasgow (54 miles away).
We cover every part of PA34 and the streets around it. We also cover the places around Kilmelford: Barravullin (4 miles south-west), Craobh Haven (4 miles south-west), Clachan Seil (6 miles north-west), Ardfern (6 miles south-west) and Ellenabeich (6 miles west).

What’s near Kilmelford
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Kilmelford Parish Church and the streets around them. A little further out are Caisteal na Nighinn Ruaidhe (4.3 miles east). Open spaces near Kilmelford include Loch a' Phearsain and Càrn Dearg.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Kilmelford
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:

- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray

Questions from Kilmelford
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
