Shower tray repair in Kelvinhaugh, done in place
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 does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kelvinhaugh and across Glasgow.

Common questions in Kelvinhaugh
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
