How we handle shower tray repair in Alloa
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Alloa
Do you do work for letting agents?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work in Alloa?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Alloa. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Alloa
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alloa as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When to call us in Alloa
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
