Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair at your home in Plympton St Maurice

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Plympton St Maurice and across Plymouth.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Landlord and trade work in Plympton St Maurice

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
