Trusted shower tray repair in Dean Village

Shower tray repair at your home in Dean Village

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Dean Village questions

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dean Village?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dean Village. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

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 reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
