How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Shower tray repair in Axminster, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Axminster. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Axminster. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Axminster
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Axminster
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
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.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Axminster
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
