Shower tray repair for Horrabridge homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Horrabridge

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Horrabridge

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL20 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horrabridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
