Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Busby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Busby
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about shower tray repair in Busby
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you cover Busby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Busby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
