Shower tray repair near Little Torrington

Shower tray repair in Little Torrington, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Little Torrington

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Little Torrington?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
