Shower tray repair at your home in Crossmichael
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and a tray that flexes.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crossmichael. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Crossmichael and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repairing versus replacing in Crossmichael
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
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.
