Shower Tray Repair for Upper Harbledown homes
Shower tray repair in and around Upper Harbledown: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Shower tray repair in Upper Harbledown, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and damage around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Harbledown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Upper Harbledown
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Upper Harbledown.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
