Shower tray repair in Clachan, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Clachan: your questions answered
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Clachan?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clachan. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
