Shower tray repair in Drumbuie without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Questions from Drumbuie
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
