Shower tray repair in Dornoch without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Dornoch
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Dornoch
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Dornoch: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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.
