Shower tray repair in Elvanfoot, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Elvanfoot and across South Lanarkshire.

Repairing versus replacing in Elvanfoot
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Elvanfoot
Do you come to Elvanfoot?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Elvanfoot from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Elvanfoot?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
