Shower tray repair in Whitecraig without replacing anything

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 crack does not come back. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start 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 Whitecraig clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Whitecraig

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Whitecraig.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Whitecraig

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
