Aftercare tips

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How we handle shower tray repair in Mid Yell

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mid Yell and across the Shetland Islands.

FAQs for Mid Yell

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Mid Yell?

We do. Technicians travel to Mid Yell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mid Yell. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
