Shower tray repair in Downiehills, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Downiehills questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
