Shower tray repair in Fountainhall without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fountainhall and across the Scottish Borders.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TD1 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Do you come to Fountainhall?
We do. We send a technician to Fountainhall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
