Shower tray repair at your home in Alloway
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Alloway questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Alloway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
