West Lyn: your questions answered

Do you work in West Lyn?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Lyn. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does shower tray repair cost in West Lyn?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in West Lyn

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. 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. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.
