About our shower tray repair in Parracombe
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Parracombe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Parracombe
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Parracombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Parracombe and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Parracombe
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Parracombe
- One price list for the entire UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page.
What affects the price in Parracombe
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Parracombe. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Do you need shower tray repair in Parracombe?
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
