Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Braehead
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Braehead: your questions answered
How much does shower tray repair cost in Braehead?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Braehead?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Braehead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
