Shower tray repair in Church Town without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Church Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Church Town. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Questions from Church Town

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Church Town and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
