Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Shower tray repair at your home in Baintown
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges, in cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Do you need shower tray repair in Baintown?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Baintown
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
Across the UK, so Baintown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
