Shower tray repair across Torbay: what to expect
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes.
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Around Paignton
Around Paignton, we work in homes near Sacred Heart Catholic School, Paignton Academy and Parish Church of Christ Church, among other places. There is a railway station in Paignton itself: Paignton station. Nearby you will also find The Real Crime Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Berry Pomeroy Castle (3 miles west). For a walk, there’s Occombe Valley Woods.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Torbay questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
