Advice
Shower tray repair in Kingsknowe, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Kingsknowe questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you cover Kingsknowe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kingsknowe and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kingsknowe. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace in Kingsknowe?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kingsknowe?
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kingsknowe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
