How we handle shower tray repair in Warriston
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Warriston
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Warriston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Warriston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Warriston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
