Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Our work in Hoy
Hoy is about 14 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Hoy is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
All of KW16 is covered. Being close to the B9049, Hoy is easy for our technicians to reach. We also travel to Stromness (4 miles north), Cairston (5 miles north), Clestrain (5 miles north-east), Midland (5 miles east) and Clouston (6 miles north-east).

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from Hoy
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When to call us in Hoy
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What affects the price in Hoy
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
