Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Appledore
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Appledore.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the whole UK, including Appledore and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repair or replace in Appledore?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
