Shower tray repair in Kirk Yetholm, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, in stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When we’d advise against a repair

What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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 can be filled and matched.
Repair or replace in Kirk Yetholm?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts 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?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Kirk Yetholm questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Kirk Yetholm?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Kirk Yetholm?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What affects the price in Kirk Yetholm
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirk Yetholm. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Kirk Yetholm
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
