What else we do in Whinburgh
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for 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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whinburgh use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Whinburgh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Whinburgh questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
