About our shower tray repair in Old Pentland
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
If you are in Old Pentland and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
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.
