West Kilbride: your questions answered
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including West Kilbride and the rest of North Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
About our shower tray repair in West Kilbride
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’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common problems we fix in West Kilbride
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
