Shower tray repair in Powderhall, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and chips on the edges, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Powderhall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry

When to call us in Powderhall
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
