Shower tray repair in Shettleston, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Shettleston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What we are called out for in Shettleston
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shettleston
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Shettleston

- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 usually cheaper.
