Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Shower tray repair in Blackness, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common questions in Blackness
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blackness. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
