Shower tray repair near Torquay

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. In a town like Torquay, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, while a repair keeps everything as it is.

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place

How we handle shower tray repair in Torquay

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Trays in a town like Torquay see heavy daily use, so chips, cracks and worn finishes are common. We repair them without removing the screen or tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. In a town like Torquay, most homes have a driveway or nearby street parking, so the visit is simple to arrange. Tell us if the shower tray is upstairs or in a flat.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Torquay questions

I let a flat near Torre station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Do you take on commercial work in Torquay?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send photos and details of the building.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Torbay. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Do you need shower tray repair in Torquay?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Rented homes near Torre station (about 0.8 miles west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Torquay

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torbay and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
