Shower tray repair in Greenside

Greenside: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Greenside?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How we handle shower tray repair in Greenside

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Greenside

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Greenside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenside use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Greenside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
