Our shower tray repair service in Somerset

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Pricing in Somerset

Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Somerset

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Somerset

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
