Shower tray repair in Plymstock without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Plymstock
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Plymstock
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Plymstock.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When to call us in Plymstock
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.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste

Landlord and trade work in Plymstock
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
