About our shower tray repair in Carradale
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Carradale
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PA28 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What affects the price in Carradale
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
