About our shower tray repair in Hillhead
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Hillhead questions
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Hillhead?
We do. Technicians travel to Hillhead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Hillhead
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
