Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Port Elphinstone, Aberdeenshire
Shower tray repair in and around Port Elphinstone: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Shower tray repair at your home in Port Elphinstone
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Port Elphinstone and across Aberdeenshire.

What shower tray repair costs

- How many areas need work

How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
