Shower tray repair in Hermiston without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Shower tray repair in Hermiston without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hermiston and across Edinburgh.

Questions from Hermiston
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hermiston. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Hermiston
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Hermiston
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
