Your questions about shower tray repair in Poltimore

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Poltimore and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Poltimore?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What affects the price in Poltimore

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common problems we fix in Poltimore

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
