Shower tray repair for Boyton homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Boyton

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Boyton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Boyton?

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Boyton

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Boyton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Boyton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

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