Shower tray repair for North Tawton homes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

North Tawton: your questions answered

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Common problems we fix in North Tawton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in North Tawton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Tawton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
