Shower tray repair in Settiscarth without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Questions from Settiscarth
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we’re called out for in Settiscarth
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our work in Settiscarth
Settiscarth is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. We work in all 51 towns and villages across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our visits in KW17 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you are just outside Settiscarth, we cover Norseman (1 mile east), Isbister (2 miles east), Harray (3 miles west), Bimbister (3 miles south-west) and Finstown (3 miles south). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Landmarks near Settiscarth
Further afield, we also cover the area around Corrigall Farm Museum (2.5 miles west) and Langskaill House (4.8 miles north-east). Open spaces near Settiscarth include Birsay moors RSPB Reserve and Loch of Brockan.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Settiscarth
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Settiscarth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
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.
