How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Torre

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Torre?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Torre clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
