For landlords and businesses

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Common questions in East Kilbride
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes East Kilbride. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for East Kilbride?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What we are called out for in East Kilbride
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in East Kilbride
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
