Shower tray repair near Ravelston

Shower tray repair in Ravelston without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What affects the price in Ravelston

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ravelston. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ravelston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Questions from Ravelston

Do you work in Ravelston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ravelston and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

When we visit, 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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
