- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Common questions in Lochgilphead
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
