About our shower tray repair in Southhouse
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Southhouse
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Are there extra charges for Southhouse?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Southhouse. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
What we’re called out for in Southhouse
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southhouse
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
