Shower tray repair in Garthdee without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Garthdee
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Aberdeen.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Garthdee
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Garthdee, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Do you need shower tray repair in Garthdee?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
