Your questions about shower tray repair in Lilliesleaf
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Everywhere in the UK, Lilliesleaf included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Lilliesleaf
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled

Repairs by material
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 can be filled and matched.
What affects the price in Lilliesleaf
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
