Shower tray repair at your home in Mayfield

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Mayfield

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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 is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in Mayfield

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Mayfield questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Mayfield included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
