Shower tray repair at your home in Lauder
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lauder?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote

- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
FAQs for Lauder
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
