Shower tray repair for Aller Grove homes

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we handle shower tray repair in Aller Grove

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, across acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aller Grove and across Devon.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Aller Grove

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

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

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

FAQs for Aller Grove

Do you work in Aller Grove?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aller Grove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Aller Grove

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Aller Grove

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
