Trusted shower tray repair in Higher Clovelly

Shower tray repair in Higher Clovelly without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Higher Clovelly

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in Higher Clovelly contact us are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
