About our shower tray repair in Lochboisdale
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Repair or replace in Lochboisdale?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lochboisdale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Lochboisdale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
When to call us in Lochboisdale
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
