Trusted shower tray repair in Little Scotland

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

About our shower tray repair in Little Scotland

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Little Scotland

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Scotland as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about shower tray repair in Little Scotland

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover Little Scotland?

We do. We send a technician to Little Scotland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Little Scotland is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Scotland

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
