What affects the price in Strathmartine
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- 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.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Strathmartine
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
