Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Greenhill questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
Do you work in Greenhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Greenhill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Repairing versus replacing in Greenhill
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
