Shower Tray Repair for Ipplepen homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Ipplepen, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Shower tray repair in Ipplepen without replacing anything
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 will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Ipplepen
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
FAQs for Ipplepen
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ipplepen?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ipplepen.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Trays cracked in several places
