The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle shower tray repair in Slapton
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Repair or replace in Slapton?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Slapton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Slapton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slapton
