About our shower tray repair in Hamilton West
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hamilton West and across South Lanarkshire.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Hamilton West
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hamilton West
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
