Shower tray repair in Barnstaple

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Shower tray repair in Barnstaple without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Barnstaple as everywhere else we work.

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Barnstaple

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX32 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Barnstaple. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barnstaple. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
