Shower tray repair at your home in Garelochhead
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garelochhead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Garelochhead questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
