Shower tray repair in Selkirk without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Selkirk and across the Scottish Borders.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Selkirk

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

Scratches in the surface
A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
A crack across the base
Chipped corners or rims

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

Rinse the tray after each shower
Store bottles off the tray
Get a moving tray checked
Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
Next we clean and prepare the tray.
Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Selkirk. The price depends on:

How much damage there is
How easy the damage is to reach
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Natural light rather than flash
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TD7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Selkirk questions

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you cover Selkirk?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Selkirk and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Selkirk?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
