Trusted shower tray repair in Eggesford

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Shower tray repair in Eggesford, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Eggesford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Eggesford

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eggesford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
