Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Shower tray repair in Pinhoe without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, across cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Pinhoe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Pinhoe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
