Our shower tray repair service in the Orkney Islands

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. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, in stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

On the day, 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Local landmarks in Kirkwall

In Kirkwall, that means homes near Orkney Library and Archive, Kirkwall Grammar School and Paterson Church and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Balfour Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Bishop's Palace (less than half a mile south-west). For a walk, there’s Gallow Ha' and Loomi Shun.

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in the Orkney Islands use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the damage happens

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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