DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Landlord and trade work in Cathkin
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Questions from Cathkin
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to Cathkin?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cathkin and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What we’re called out for in Cathkin
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
