Shower tray repair at your home in King's Tamerton
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.

What else we do in King's Tamerton
Your questions about shower tray repair in King's Tamerton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Plymouth.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for King's Tamerton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to King's Tamerton. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
