Shower tray repair in Spaxton, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Spaxton and across Somerset.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Spaxton

If you manage property in Spaxton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Spaxton

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Spaxton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Common reasons people in Spaxton contact us are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Spaxton

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
