Shower tray repair at your home in Bimbister
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. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
