Repair or replace in Ratho?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What affects the price in Ratho
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ratho, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
