When to call us in Torbryan

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

About our shower tray repair in Torbryan

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Torbryan and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Repairing versus replacing in Torbryan

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Torbryan

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
