How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Salcombe. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Salcombe

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the entire UK, including Salcombe and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace in Salcombe?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need shower tray repair in Salcombe?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
