Shower tray repair in Bantham Cross

Shower tray repair in Bantham Cross without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

FAQs for Bantham Cross

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bantham Cross.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bantham Cross

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bantham Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for 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
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bantham Cross

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
