About our shower tray repair in Ingliston
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Ingliston
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- 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, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ingliston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Other services in Ingliston
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
