Shower tray repair in Bideford without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Bideford
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Bideford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Bideford

- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bideford. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
