Shower tray repair in Burdiehouse, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Burdiehouse

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Burdiehouse. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Burdiehouse

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Take a look at our pricing.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Burdiehouse questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Burdiehouse?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

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 happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
