Shower tray repair in Langside, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Langside and across Glasgow.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Langside questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work in Langside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Langside. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
