About our shower tray repair in Buckland Down

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  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. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Landlord and trade work in Buckland Down

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Buckland Down. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Buckland Down

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Buckland Down?

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
