Shower tray repair at your home in Skeabrae
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Skeabrae
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Skeabrae?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Skeabrae included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skeabrae use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

When to call us in Skeabrae
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t 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.
What affects the price in Skeabrae
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Skeabrae. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
