Shower tray repair for Alverdiscott homes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Alverdiscott and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Shower tray repair at your home in Alverdiscott

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Alverdiscott questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Alverdiscott?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Alverdiscott and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Alverdiscott

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Alverdiscott, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Alverdiscott

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
