For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
About our shower tray repair in Firrhill
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. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What else we do in Firrhill
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
What affects the price in Firrhill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Firrhill, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Firrhill
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
