We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Scalasaig and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Scalasaig
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scalasaig
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
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 reply with a fixed quote.
