Shower tray repair in Exwick without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and chips on the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Exwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Exwick, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What we’re called out for in Exwick
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job

FAQs for Exwick
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
