Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ratho Station use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ratho Station?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Ratho Station: your questions answered

Do you come to Ratho Station?

We do. We send a technician to Ratho Station for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

Across the UK, and that includes Ratho Station. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
