About our shower tray repair in Drumlithie
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Drumlithie
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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 we match repairs to the surface finish.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Drumlithie
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
