Repair or replace in Venn Ottery?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need shower tray repair in Venn Ottery?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Venn Ottery

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What information do you need?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Venn Ottery?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX11 postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price
