About our shower tray repair in St John's Town of Dalry
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to St John's Town of Dalry. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in St John's Town of Dalry
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work

What else we do in St John's Town of Dalry
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in St John's Town of Dalry
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
