About our shower tray repair in Falkirk
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Falkirk and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Falkirk
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right

Materials we work on in Falkirk
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Falkirk. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
