Shower tray repair in Exnaboe, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Exnaboe
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Exnaboe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Questions from Exnaboe
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Exnaboe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Exnaboe and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
