Shower tray repair in Evie without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Evie

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Evie get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Evie and the surrounding area

Evie is about 11 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Wherever you are in the KW17 postcode area, we carry out the work at your property. Our technicians cover all 51 towns and villages across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.

Every address in KW17 is within our area. Evie sits on or near the A966, so getting to you is simple. Nearby, we also work in Tingwall (3 miles south-east), Settiscarth (5 miles south), Brinian (5 miles east), Abune-the-Hill (5 miles west) and Norseman (5 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

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.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repairing versus replacing in Evie

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Evie

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Evie?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Evie. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
