About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is in Scotland. Customers in Edinburgh get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. We work in 175 places across Edinburgh, from the larger towns to small villages.
We cover every part of the EH4, EH14, EH12 and EH6 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Fountainbridge Square, Conference Square and Mcewan Square. You’ll find Edinburgh on the A1 and A7, so it’s easy for us to reach. We also travel to West End (1 mile north-west), Bruntsfield (1 mile south), Merchiston (1 mile south), Dalry (1 mile west) and Greenhill (1 mile south).

Green spaces nearby include Salisbury Crags and Dunsapie Loch.
Shower tray repair at your home in Edinburgh
We don’t remove the tray, so the tiles and shower enclosure stay as they are. For a crack repair to last, the tray has to be solid underfoot, and we check that before we start. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches and dull patches and chips from dropped bottles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
When to call us in Edinburgh
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips, and dull patches from limescale and cleaning.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Stains where water pools
- Cracks in the base
- A worn, rough surface
- Scratches and dull patches

Repair or replace in Edinburgh?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Edinburgh
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex underfoot. If it moves when you stand on it, the support needs fixing first.

Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Do you do stone resin trays?
Yes. We resurface stone resin, acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel trays.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
