Shower tray repair in Liberton without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Liberton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Liberton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Liberton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common problems we fix in Liberton
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
