FAQs for Wigtown
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Wigtown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wigtown and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Wigtown?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Wigtown, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Other services in Wigtown
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
