Shower tray repair in Pickletillum without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips on the edges.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need shower tray repair in Pickletillum?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairing versus replacing in Pickletillum
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Take a look at our prices page.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
