How we handle shower tray repair in Throwleigh

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Throwleigh

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Look out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

Landlords, agents and businesses in Throwleigh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our pricing.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Throwleigh questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you cover Throwleigh?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Throwleigh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
