How we handle shower tray repair in Rosewell
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste, we can generally put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Rosewell
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Rosewell
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
