Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Magdalene, Edinburgh
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Magdalene and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Shower tray repair in Magdalene without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Magdalene
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Magdalene, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
