Shower tray repair near Musselburgh

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Shower tray repair in Musselburgh without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What affects the price in Musselburgh

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Musselburgh. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Musselburgh

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
