Shower tray repair in Chivenor

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Shower tray repair at your home in Chivenor

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, across ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chivenor

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
