How we handle shower tray repair in Kirkwall
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirkwall
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Kirkwall: your questions answered
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
