How we handle shower tray repair in Colyton
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Colyton?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Colyton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions to ask before you book

- How to look after the finish
Common questions in Colyton
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX24 postcode.
Do you come to Colyton?
We do. We send a technician to Colyton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What else we do in Colyton
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
