Shower tray repair in Maidencombe without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a damaged area around the waste, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torbay.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maidencombe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
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.
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 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 it’s worth repairing early.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Maidencombe
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
All of Torbay, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Plumbing leaks under the tray

- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
