Shower tray repair in Dowanhill without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Dowanhill
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Common problems we fix in Dowanhill
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
FAQs for Dowanhill
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dowanhill. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Dowanhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dowanhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
