Shower tray repair near East Devon

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we handle shower tray repair in East Devon

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in East Devon

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Devon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Devon

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common questions in East Devon

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

How much does shower tray repair cost in East Devon?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
