New Aberdour: your questions answered
Do you come to New Aberdour?
We do. Repair technicians travel to New Aberdour from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Shower tray repair in New Aberdour without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Do you need shower tray repair in New Aberdour?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
