Shower tray repair in Sandyhills without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.
In and around Sandyhills, walk-in showers and shower rooms are common in bungalows. If the tray is firm, any crack or chip can be repaired in place.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandyhills as everywhere else we work.

Sandyhills: your questions answered
Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Shettleston station?
Yes. We fix shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Do you take on commercial work in Sandyhills?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sandyhills.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy. Visits around Sandyhills are usually simple: we park, protect the room and get started.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Sandyhills
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Rented homes near Shettleston station (in Sandyhills itself) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

For anyone letting property in or around Sandyhills, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
