Shower tray repair at your home in Craigmillar
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, across enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Craigmillar as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Craigmillar
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Craigmillar. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlord and trade work in Craigmillar
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
