Shower Tray Repair for Holyrood homes
Our repair technicians come to Holyrood for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair in Holyrood, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What affects the price in Holyrood
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Holyrood: your questions answered
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Holyrood
Signs you need shower tray repair in Holyrood
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairing versus replacing in Holyrood
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
