Shower tray repair in Dufftown without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Advice
Dufftown: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Dufftown?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dufftown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Dufftown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dufftown?
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
