Landlords, agents and businesses in Torthorwald

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Torthorwald, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

About our shower tray repair in Torthorwald

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Torthorwald and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

Common problems we fix in Torthorwald

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Torthorwald

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Torthorwald and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Torthorwald?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Torthorwald from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
