Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cairns and across South Lanarkshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why Cairns clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 frequently lifts.
