- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Questions from Carbrain
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Carbrain and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Carbrain
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Landlord and trade work in Carbrain
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. 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.
