What affects the price in Townshend
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Shower tray repair in Townshend without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Townshend
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Townshend
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched

Common questions in Townshend
Do you work in Townshend?
We do. We send a technician to Townshend for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Townshend?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
