How we handle shower tray repair in Kilmun
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need shower tray repair in Kilmun?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmun. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
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.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Kilmun: your questions answered
Do you cover Kilmun?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kilmun from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repairing versus replacing in Kilmun
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kilmun. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
