Advice
Shower tray repair in Ardentinny, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Ardentinny
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

What else we do in Ardentinny
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Ardentinny questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ardentinny?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA23 postcode.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
