Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair at your home in Niddrie Mains

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

Questions from Niddrie Mains

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What affects the price in Niddrie Mains

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
