About our shower tray repair in Glenelg

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Repair or replace in Glenelg?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Glenelg

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Glenelg, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Questions from Glenelg

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
