Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How we handle shower tray repair in Niddrie
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. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Niddrie
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Niddrie.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK, so Niddrie is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Niddrie as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Niddrie. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
