What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dumfries?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dumfries
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dumfries. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dumfries?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Dumfries?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
