Shower tray repair for Uffculme homes

About our shower tray repair in Uffculme

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uffculme use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Uffculme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Uffculme. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t 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. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Uffculme: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Uffculme?

We do. We send a technician to Uffculme for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Uffculme?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX15 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Uffculme

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Uffculme

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
