How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Common questions in Darracott

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Darracott?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX33 postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Darracott

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is 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 reply with a fixed quote.
