About our shower tray repair in Buckfast

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckfast

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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.

Why Buckfast clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Buckfast: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Buckfast

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
