Dunkeld: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunkeld
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunkeld use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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 can be filled and matched.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunkeld
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunkeld. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PH8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Ceramic

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
