Common questions in Kirkcolm
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Kirkcolm?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkcolm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
About our shower tray repair in Kirkcolm
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, across ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Other services in Kirkcolm
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
