Trusted shower tray repair in Torridge

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair in Torridge without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a crack across the base.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

What affects the price in Torridge

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Torridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Torridge

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Torridge: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Torridge?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

When can I use the shower again?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Torridge

For anyone letting property in or around Torridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
