DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
How it works
Once we are 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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Dolphinton
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dolphinton
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Dolphinton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
