Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Shower tray repair at your home in Muirhouse
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Muirhouse. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Muirhouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:

- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Repairing versus replacing in Muirhouse
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Muirhouse
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
