Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Midlem get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Midlem
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
