Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Shower tray repair in Langlee without replacing anything
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 repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langlee use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Langlee
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Langlee?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Langlee for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Langlee and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Langlee
