About our shower tray repair in Sighthill
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Sighthill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sighthill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Sighthill: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
