Shower tray repair at your home in Rackwick
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rackwick
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rackwick as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Rackwick. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
