Your questions about shower tray repair in West Lydford

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
