Shower tray repair in West Craigs, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for West Craigs
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Craigs
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need shower tray repair in West Craigs?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
