About Elrig
Elrig is about 18 miles south-east of Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway. Across the DG8 area, a technician comes to you. Elrig is one of 138 places in Dumfries and Galloway where we work. We work right across the region, from Elrig to Glasgow (about 74 miles away).
All of DG8 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you are just outside Elrig, we cover Mochrum (2 miles east), Port William (3 miles south-east), Monreith (5 miles south-east), Whauphill (5 miles east) and Kirkinner (7 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Newton Stewart (12 miles north-east), Wigtown (8 miles north-east), Creetown (12 miles north-east), Minnigaff (13 miles north-east) and Whithorn (9 miles south-east).
Around Elrig
Further afield, we also cover the area around Myrton Castle (3.5 miles south-east). The countryside around Elrig includes Mochrum Fell and Eldrig Loch.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, 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
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

We do. We send a technician to Elrig for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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.
