Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need shower tray repair in Axmouth?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Axmouth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Axmouth
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Axmouth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
