What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Sanday
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Sanday as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will 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 photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Upper Sanday
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
We cover the whole UK, including Upper Sanday and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we are called out for in Upper Sanday
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Sanday
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why Upper Sanday customers choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
