Shower Tray Repair in Cornwall

Our shower tray repair service in Cornwall

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

What it costs in Cornwall

Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Landlord and trade work in Cornwall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornwall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Questions from Cornwall

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
