Trusted shower tray repair in Ringmore

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Shower tray repair in Ringmore 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. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ringmore and across Devon.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Ringmore

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Ringmore

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we cannot put right

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Ringmore: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
