About our shower tray repair in Joppa
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Joppa and across Edinburgh.

What affects the price in Joppa
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Joppa. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repair or replace in Joppa?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Joppa questions
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
