Shower tray repair for Ponsford homes

Shower tray repair in Ponsford without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace in Ponsford?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Ponsford: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.

Do you come to Ponsford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ponsford and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Ponsford

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
