Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle shower tray repair in Kingussie
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work 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 check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kingussie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Kingussie
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Kingussie and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kingussie?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
