Shower tray repair in Abercorn without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Abercorn and across Edinburgh.

Abercorn: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abercorn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not 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.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Abercorn
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
