Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Foveran
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?
We work UK-wide, so Foveran is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
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 I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Foveran
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
