How we handle shower tray repair in Cathcart
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings

Materials we work on in Cathcart
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cathcart
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
