Common questions in Modbury
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace in Modbury?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Modbury
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Modbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
