Simshill questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Simshill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repairing versus replacing in Simshill
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
