When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Balerno
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Balerno, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Balerno: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Balerno. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
