Trusted shower tray repair in Kennford

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron

How we handle shower tray repair in Kennford

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. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Kennford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kennford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kennford

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Across the UK, so Kennford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Do you need shower tray repair in Kennford?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
