Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Grindiscol

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Grindiscol

Do you cover Grindiscol?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grindiscol and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What affects the price in Grindiscol

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For a price in Grindiscol, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
