About our shower tray repair in Torphichen

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Torphichen

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Torphichen is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Torphichen?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What we are called out for in Torphichen

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Torphichen. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repairing versus replacing in Torphichen

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Torphichen

If you manage property in Torphichen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
