Shower tray repair in Lochaline without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that flexes, across cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lochaline and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Lochaline
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lochaline included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
