Shower tray repair in West Charleton, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

FAQs for West Charleton

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Landlord and trade work in West Charleton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in West Charleton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
