Shower tray repair at your home in Carstairs
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Carstairs
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Do you need shower tray repair in Carstairs?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
