Shower tray repair at your home in Arbuthnott
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arbuthnott as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
