DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Bishop's Nympton

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bishop's Nympton

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bishop's Nympton?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
