Shower tray repair in Larbert without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Larbert
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you need shower tray repair in Larbert?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Larbert
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Larbert, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
