Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair in Slapton without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Slapton
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Slapton. The price reflects:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Slapton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What else we do in Slapton
When a repair isn’t the answer

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Landlord and trade work in Slapton

Slapton questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
