Shower tray repair at your home in Craigentinny
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Craigentinny. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Craigentinny questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
