Shower tray repair in Slateford without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Slateford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Slateford: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Slateford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
