Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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 are paying for.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What we’re called out for in Heriot
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Heriot: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Are there extra charges for Heriot?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work in Heriot?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Heriot from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heriot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Heriot
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heriot. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
