Shower tray repair in Birkenside without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Covering Birkenside
Birkenside is about 3 miles south-east of Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian. Whether you are in the middle of Birkenside or on the outskirts, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. We work in all 33 towns and villages across Midlothian, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Birkenside to Edinburgh (about 10 miles away).
We cover every part of EH23 and the streets around it. Local streets include Main Street, Vogrie Road and Private Road. We also cover the places around Birkenside: Arniston (1 mile south), Gorebridge (1 mile north), North Middleton (1 mile south-east), Gowkshill (2 miles north) and Carrington (2 miles west).

Landmarks near Birkenside
Our customers here include homes close to Hunterfield Road Church and the streets around them. Birkenside has its own railway station: Gorebridge station.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birkenside as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Birkenside questions
Do you cover Birkenside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Birkenside and the rest of Midlothian. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What affects the price in Birkenside
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
