About our shower tray repair in Lewdown

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, across ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lewdown and across Devon.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 frequently lifts.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from Lewdown

Do you work in Lewdown?

We do. Technicians travel to Lewdown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Common problems we fix in Lewdown

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Lewdown

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lewdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

For a price in Lewdown, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace in Lewdown?

The tray is typically 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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
