Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Hillside, Aberdeenshire
We travel to Hillside for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair in Hillside, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hillside as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Hillside
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Hillside questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
