About our shower tray repair in Bigton
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 doesn’t come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Bigton?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Bigton
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Bigton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Bigton
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
