Shower tray repair at your home in Glencaple
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Glencaple: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Glencaple?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Landlord and trade work in Glencaple
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Glencaple?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
