Shower tray repair in Longforgan, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Longforgan
The tray is normally 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Do you need shower tray repair in Longforgan?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Longforgan: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
