Shower tray repair for Aveton Gifford homes

About our shower tray repair in Aveton Gifford

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aveton Gifford and across Devon.

Aveton Gifford questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Aveton Gifford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you come to Aveton Gifford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Aveton Gifford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Landlord and trade work in Aveton Gifford

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Aveton Gifford

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Aveton Gifford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
