Shower tray repair in Tenston, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Tenston: your questions answered
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Our work in Tenston
Tenston is about 12 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Wherever you are in the KW16 postcode area, we carry out the work at your property. We cover 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Postcode districts we cover here: KW16. Nearby, we also work in Wasbister (1 mile south), Russland (2 miles north-east), Hourston (2 miles north-east), Skeabrae (3 miles north) and Harray (3 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Landmarks near Tenston
Well-known places in the area include Skara Brae Visitor Centre (2.8 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Mill Dam of Rango and Hill of Miffia.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
When to call us in Tenston
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tenston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
