About our shower tray repair in Craigour
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, in stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Craigour as everywhere else we work.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When to call us in Craigour
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended

- What prep work is covered
Your questions about shower tray repair in Craigour
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?

How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
