Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Colinton Mains. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Colinton Mains
How much does shower tray repair cost in Colinton Mains?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Colinton Mains. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
