Shower tray repair in Giffnock without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
