About our shower tray repair in Dunbeath
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dunbeath
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Dunbeath?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Do you need shower tray repair in Dunbeath?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
