Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair in Carnkie, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can pets and children be at home?

Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What we’re called out for in Carnkie
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
