About our shower tray repair in Oxton
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oxton as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- 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, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Questions from Oxton
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
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 repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Oxton. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
