How we handle shower tray repair in Port Appin
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Port Appin
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Most clients in Port Appin get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
