How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Most customers in Elphinstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Elphinstone
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Elphinstone: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work in Elphinstone?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Elphinstone and the rest of East Lothian. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace in Elphinstone?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elphinstone
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
