Shower Tray Repair for Carloway homes
Damaged shower tray in Carloway? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle shower tray repair in Carloway
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Carloway
Landlord and trade work in Carloway
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Carloway
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Are there extra charges for Carloway?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
