DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for East Prawle

How much does shower tray repair cost in East Prawle?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TQ7 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in East Prawle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
