Shower tray repair & resurfacing in New Town, Edinburgh
Shower tray repair for New Town, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

FAQs for New Town
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
When to call us in New Town
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in New Town
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why New Town customers choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
