How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH45 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Peebles get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Peebles: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Peebles is one of 89 towns and villages in the Scottish Borders we cover. Our jobs stretch from Peebles to Edinburgh (20 miles away).
Here we cover the EH45 postcode area. Local streets include High Street, Kingsland Square and St Michael's Wynd, and we cover them all.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Peebles
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Peebles as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Peebles
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
