Shower tray repair in Metcombe without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Metcombe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Metcombe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Metcombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Metcombe and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Metcombe
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Metcombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
