Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Shower tray repair at your home in Smailholm
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Repair or replace in Smailholm?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Smailholm?
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
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.

What affects the price in Smailholm
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Smailholm and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Smailholm questions
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Smailholm?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Smailholm
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
