Need shower tray repair in Curriehill?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair in Curriehill, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Curriehill. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Curriehill

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Do you need shower tray repair in Curriehill?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
