Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle shower tray repair in Camlachie
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Camlachie
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Camlachie use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
Common questions in Camlachie
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What we are called out for in Camlachie
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
