Shower tray repair near Meavy

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Shower tray repair in Meavy, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Meavy: your questions answered

When can you do it?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Meavy?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Meavy and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.
