How we handle shower tray repair in Sciennes
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sciennes and across Edinburgh.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sciennes
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Sciennes
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Sciennes?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sciennes. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Repair or replace in Sciennes?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before you book

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When to call us in Sciennes
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base

- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What affects the price in Sciennes
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Sciennes, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
