Shower tray repair in Canongate without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Canongate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canongate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Canongate
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
