Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Repair or replace in Wester Hailes?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wester Hailes

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wester Hailes as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Wester Hailes

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wester Hailes?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Across the UK, and that includes Wester Hailes. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Wester Hailes

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
