Shower tray repair in Kirkcowan without replacing anything
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 chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kirkcowan questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kirkcowan. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we’re called out for in Kirkcowan
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Repair or replace in Kirkcowan?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
