Shower tray repair for Down St Mary homes

About our shower tray repair in Down St Mary

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What affects the price in Down St Mary

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Down St Mary. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Common questions in Down St Mary

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Down St Mary and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
