Book shower tray repair in Hamnavoe

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we handle shower tray repair in Hamnavoe

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Hamnavoe

For anyone letting property in or around Hamnavoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hamnavoe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Hamnavoe

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hamnavoe included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Shetland Islands.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you work in Hamnavoe?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
