Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we handle shower tray repair in Swanston
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. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swanston
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
