Shower tray repair near Wembworthy

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Shower tray repair in Wembworthy, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace in Wembworthy?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Wembworthy

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wembworthy

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?
