  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

About our shower tray repair in Colinton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Colinton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Colinton

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Colinton: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover Colinton?

We do. We send a technician to Colinton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Colinton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH13 postcode.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
