Shower Tray Repair for Dalswinton homes
Damaged shower tray in Dalswinton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Dalswinton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Dalswinton questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
