Shower tray repair in Batcombe without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Batcombe: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What affects the price in Batcombe

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. 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

If you manage property in Batcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Batcombe?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price
