About our shower tray repair in Dartington
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dartington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Dartington
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dartington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Dartington
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Dartington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dartington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
