Shower tray repair at your home in Grimbister
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Grimbister and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Our work in Grimbister
Grimbister is about 5 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We agree a date that works for you, and we will give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. We cover all 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
We cover every part of the KW15 postcode area and the streets around it. Neighbouring places we cover include Finstown (1 mile north-west), Heddle (1 mile west), Germiston (2 miles south-west), Kirbister (4 miles south) and Norseman (4 miles north). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Grimbister

Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Grimbister
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimbister use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
