Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Dalbeattie
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Dalbeattie: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dalbeattie.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Dalbeattie 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 to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Dalbeattie

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
