Need shower tray repair in Riccarton?

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair in Riccarton without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Riccarton: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Everywhere in the UK, Riccarton included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work in Riccarton?

We do. Technicians travel to Riccarton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

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

Common problems we fix in Riccarton

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riccarton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Riccarton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Riccarton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
