DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Landlord and trade work in Staffin

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common problems we fix in Staffin

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Staffin questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Staffin. Prices do not change with location.

Do you cover Staffin?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Staffin. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
