How we handle shower tray repair in Armadale
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Nearby, we also work in Ardvasar (1 mile south-west), Kilbeg (2 miles north-east), Mallaig (5 miles south-east), Morar (7 miles south-east) and Glenancross (8 miles south).

Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV45 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Armadale
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
We work UK-wide, so Armadale is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Armadale?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
