Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Dores, Highland
We travel to Dores for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Dores: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Dores?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in Dores
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Dores contact us include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
