Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Torphin

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Torphin
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
