Shower tray repair in Stranraer, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Stranraer
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover Stranraer?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stranraer from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stranraer. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
