How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chapel of Garioch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Chapel of Garioch, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Chapel of Garioch
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chapel of Garioch
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?
All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
