Shower tray repair at your home in Higher Batson

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Batson

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from Higher Batson

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Higher Batson?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
