How we handle shower tray repair in Boswall
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Boswall and across Edinburgh.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Boswall
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What we cannot put right

- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
