How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair in Torwood, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Torwood
Do you work in Torwood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Torwood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Torwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Scuffs and light scratches

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
We don’t add 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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.
