Shower tray repair for Babbacombe homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Babbacombe

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Babbacombe. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Babbacombe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Babbacombe: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Babbacombe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Torbay.

Repairing versus replacing in Babbacombe

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our pricing.

What we’re called out for in Babbacombe

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
