Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Gracemount, Edinburgh
We travel to Gracemount for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
How we handle shower tray repair in Gracemount
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Gracemount questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We don’t add 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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
