Shower tray repair in Yarcombe, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yarcombe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yarcombe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

When to call us in Yarcombe

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Yarcombe questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are there extra charges for Yarcombe?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
