The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kirkliston

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Common problems we fix in Kirkliston

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kirkliston

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kirkliston?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkliston. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

If you are in Kirkliston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
