Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Canisbay and across Highland.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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.
