Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillswick

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Hillswick

Do you work in Hillswick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hillswick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hillswick and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

If you’re in Hillswick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hillswick

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
