Shower tray repair in Wembury

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we handle shower tray repair in Wembury

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Wembury

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Wembury: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

The entire UK, including all of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
