Questions from Smallridge
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Smallridge and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Shower tray repair at your home in Smallridge
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Smallridge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Smallridge?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
