Shower tray repair in Chagford

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chagford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

About our shower tray repair in Chagford

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Chagford

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chagford. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  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
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Chagford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
