Signs you need shower tray repair in Auchengray
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

- Staining and dullness across the tray

- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot

Questions from Auchengray
Do you work in Auchengray?
We do. We send a technician to Auchengray for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
