Shower tray repair in Okehampton

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

Shower tray repair at your home in Okehampton

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Okehampton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

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

Common problems we fix in Okehampton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Okehampton

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
