Shower tray repair in Nutwalls

Shower tray repair in Nutwalls, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nutwalls as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Nutwalls

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repair or replace in Nutwalls?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Nutwalls

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nutwalls as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nutwalls, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
