Shower tray repair in Meikle Earnock, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Meikle Earnock
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Meikle Earnock?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Meikle Earnock. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
