Shower tray repair in Kingsbridge

Shower tray repair in Kingsbridge without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kingsbridge

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Kingsbridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Kingsbridge

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Kingsbridge

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingsbridge

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
