About shower tray repair in the Scottish Borders

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 crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting.

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Prices in the Scottish Borders

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Around Galashiels

In Galashiels, that means homes near Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy, among other places. There is a railway station in Galashiels itself: Galashiels station. Well-known places in the area include Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). Not far away are Eildon Mid Hill.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around the Scottish Borders, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption.

What affects the price in the Scottish Borders

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in the Scottish Borders and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

the Scottish Borders: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to the Scottish Borders?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
