Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilmerton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilmerton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Gilmerton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gilmerton. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
