Shower Tray Repair for Old Monkland homes
Shower tray repair across Old Monkland and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
About our shower tray repair in Old Monkland
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Old Monkland and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. 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.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
