About our shower tray repair in Stowford

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

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

Common questions in Stowford

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron

Landlord and trade work in Stowford

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
