Shower tray repair in Braemar without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Braemar?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braemar as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
