If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Cranhill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Cranhill questions

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cranhill?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

We cover the entire UK, including Cranhill and the rest of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
