DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Shower tray repair in Mortonhall, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Mortonhall
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Mortonhall
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
