Different materials, different repairs
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Mill of Mains without replacing anything
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 regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mill of Mains, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Mill of Mains
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Mill of Mains included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
