Shower tray repair in Longhope without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Longhope and nearby
Longhope is about 15 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Jobs in Longhope are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from photos, then a visit to do the work. Longhope is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.

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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Most customers in Longhope get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Longhope?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
