Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Ashcombe, Devon
Damaged shower tray in Ashcombe? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle shower tray repair in Ashcombe
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ashcombe
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashcombe.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ashcombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we’re called out for in Ashcombe
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
