Questions from Hoswick

Are there extra charges for Hoswick?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover Hoswick?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?

We work UK-wide, so Hoswick is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How we handle shower tray repair in Hoswick

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. 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 we match the gloss when we repair them.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
