Shower tray repair in Plympton

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our shower tray repair in Plympton

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Plympton

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repairing versus replacing in Plympton

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plympton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plympton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When to call us in Plympton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
