About our shower tray repair in Ruchill
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

FAQs for Ruchill
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ruchill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.

What else we do in Ruchill
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For a price in Ruchill, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Ruchill
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ruchill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
