Shower tray repair at your home in Ide
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ide use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Ide questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for Ide?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
