How we handle shower tray repair in Smyrton

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Smyrton. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Smyrton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Smyrton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
