Shower tray repair in Antron, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Antron as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Antron

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Antron

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in Antron contact us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Antron get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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