Shower tray repair in Tranent without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Tranent
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote

What affects the price in Tranent
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
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 can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Tranent
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Repair or replace in Tranent?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
