Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Do you need shower tray repair in Lamerton?

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Lamerton?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Lamerton

Are there extra charges for Lamerton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

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

Do you cover Lamerton?

We do. We send a technician to Lamerton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lamerton. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Lamerton

  • Cast iron

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
