Common questions in Glenrothes
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Glenrothes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Shower tray repair at your home in Glenrothes
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Glenrothes as everywhere else we work.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glenrothes
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Glenrothes
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
