Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting

Questions from Strachan
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Strachan
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
