What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How we handle shower tray repair in Longstone
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
What we’re called out for in Longstone
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface

FAQs for Longstone
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
