Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Shower tray repair in Gargunnock without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Gargunnock questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Gargunnock?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gargunnock
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gargunnock
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gargunnock as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
