Tannadice is one of 40 towns and villages in Angus where we work. Our nearest city page is Edinburgh, about 55 miles away.
Every address in DD8 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

Local landmarks in Tannadice

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tannadice as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Tannadice
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Tannadice
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Common problems we fix in Tannadice
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
