Shower tray repair in Cheston, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Common questions in Cheston
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cheston?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Repairing versus replacing in Cheston
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
