About our shower tray repair in Buckerell
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Buckerell and across Devon.

FAQs for Buckerell
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Buckerell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Buckerell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Buckerell
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
