Choosing a repair company

Bishop's Tawton: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting 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 quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
