Repair or replace in Tradeston?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tradeston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Tradeston
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Tradeston?
We do. We send a technician to Tradeston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
