- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges

About our shower tray repair in Govanhill
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G42 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Govanhill questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
