Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What else we do in Cockenzie and Port Seton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
