Shower tray repair in Inverleith without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Inverleith

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Inverleith?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH5 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Inverleith

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
