Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Gilmerton, Perth and Kinross
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Gilmerton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Shower tray repair in Gilmerton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilmerton
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilmerton
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Gilmerton
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
