Trusted shower tray repair in Carlyon Bay

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Carlyon Bay and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we handle shower tray repair in Carlyon Bay

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

Do you need shower tray repair in Carlyon Bay?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlyon Bay

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Carlyon Bay: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Carlyon Bay?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
