About our shower tray repair in Abune-the-Hill
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Abune-the-Hill questions
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
When to call us in Abune-the-Hill
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
