Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

About our shower tray repair in Sheldon

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

FAQs for Sheldon

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you come to Sheldon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sheldon and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sheldon.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sheldon

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
