Shower tray repair for Bradninch homes

Shower tray repair in Bradninch without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bradninch and across Devon.

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bradninch

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX5 postcode.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

When to call us in Bradninch

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bradninch

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
