Shower tray repair in Yealmpton

How we handle shower tray repair in Yealmpton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Yealmpton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Yealmpton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
