Shower tray repair in Birkhill without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Birkhill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Birkhill
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Dundee?
We cover the entire UK, including Birkhill and the rest of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Birkhill?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
