Shower tray repair for Ideford homes

Repairing versus replacing in Ideford

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ideford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
