What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Lochinver, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lochinver and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Lochinver: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you cover Lochinver?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lochinver and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lochinver. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
