In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens after I send pictures?

Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marchmont as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
