FAQs for Longside
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Longside and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Common problems we fix in Longside
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longside. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
