Your questions about shower tray repair in Kirn
Are there extra charges for Kirn?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kirn?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What else we do in Kirn
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Kirn
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
