Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Sound, Shetland Islands
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Sound and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Shower tray repair in Sound, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ZE1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Sound
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
