Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Comiston, Edinburgh
Our repair technicians come to Comiston for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
About our shower tray repair in Comiston
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Comiston
If you manage property in Comiston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Comiston
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
