Shower tray repair in Ilminster without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Ilminster: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What we are called out for in Ilminster
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 Ilminster contact us include:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Ilminster?

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
