How we handle shower tray repair in Aberlady
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aberlady: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Aberlady?
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. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
