What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Shower tray repair at your home in Portree
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Portree
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
