Shower tray repair in South Gyle without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

South Gyle: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How much does shower tray repair cost in South Gyle?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
