Shower tray repair at your home in Slackbuie
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we’re called out for in Slackbuie

Common reasons people in Slackbuie contact us include:

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down 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 are there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Slackbuie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Slackbuie
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
