Shower tray repair at your home in Wallyford
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wallyford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Questions from Wallyford
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you work in Wallyford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wallyford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
