Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Torry

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Torry?

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Torry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
