Shower tray repair for Bow homes

Shower tray repair in Bow without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bow

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the entire UK, including Bow and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Are there extra charges for Bow?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Bow

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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