The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Garlieston questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Garlieston?
We do. We send a technician to Garlieston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What we are called out for in Garlieston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garlieston
For anyone letting property in or around Garlieston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
