Your questions about shower tray repair in Symington
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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 I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Symington?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Other services in Symington
Do you need shower tray repair in Symington?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Symington
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What we do, step by step
We turn 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 we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Symington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
