Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
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.
FAQs for Lockerbie
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
