What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Advice
How we handle shower tray repair in Kelloholm
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelloholm as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When to call us in Kelloholm
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Kelloholm: your questions answered
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Are there extra charges for Kelloholm?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelloholm
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
