Shower tray repair at your home in Blackhill
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Blackhill and across the Orkney Islands.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What else we do in Blackhill
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Blackhill?
We do. We send a technician to Blackhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repair or replace in Blackhill?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
