About our shower tray repair in Innerleithen
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
