How we handle shower tray repair in Oldmeldrum
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldmeldrum use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Oldmeldrum
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Oldmeldrum and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Every job is a little different, 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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Oldmeldrum
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
