Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair at your home in Buckhaven
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Buckhaven, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Buckhaven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Most customers in Buckhaven get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Do you need shower tray repair in Buckhaven?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
