Shower tray repair near Torness

Shower tray repair at your home in Torness

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we are called out for in Torness

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Torness contact us are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Torness questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you work in Torness?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Torness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torness as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Torness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
