How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Most clients in Kentisbury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Kentisbury

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentisbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Kentisbury

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you come to Kentisbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kentisbury and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
