About our shower tray repair in Locharbriggs
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. We work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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 job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Locharbriggs
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Locharbriggs
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
