Landlords, agents and businesses in Galmpton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Galmpton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Galmpton
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Galmpton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What affects the price in Galmpton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
