Shower tray repair in Ottery St Mary

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Ottery St Mary

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you come to Ottery St Mary?

We do. Technicians travel to Ottery St Mary from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ottery St Mary. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ottery St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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