Shower Tray Repair for Kingsmuir homes
Shower tray repair in Kingsmuir without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
About our shower tray repair in Kingsmuir
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kingsmuir and across Angus.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

Repairing versus replacing in Kingsmuir
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kingsmuir. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Kingsmuir

- A damaged area around the waste
