About our shower tray repair in Strathkinness
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strathkinness use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
