Shower tray repair in Sandwick, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Sandwick

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Sandwick

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sandwick. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Sandwick

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sandwick?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sandwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
