Shower tray repair in Moredun without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Questions from Moredun

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moredun. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Moredun?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
