Shower tray repair in Torver

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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.

Shower tray repair in Torver, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Torver get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Torver

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Torver

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
