The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Exminster. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Exminster: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Exminster

If you manage property in Exminster, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Exminster

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
