How we handle shower tray repair in Gartocharn
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gartocharn. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need shower tray repair in Gartocharn?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
FAQs for Gartocharn
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
