Shower tray repair at your home in Kippford
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. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kippford and across Dumfries and Galloway.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

FAQs for Kippford
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need shower tray repair in Kippford?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
