Trusted shower tray repair in Hemerdon

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Shower tray repair in Hemerdon, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hemerdon. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Hemerdon: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Hemerdon?

We do. We send a technician to Hemerdon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Hemerdon and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hemerdon

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
