FAQs for Clermiston

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Shower tray repair in Clermiston without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

What affects the price in Clermiston

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Clermiston. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
