Shower tray repair for Creegbrawse homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Creegbrawse

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Creegbrawse

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Creegbrawse?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Take a look at our full price list.

Repairs by material

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we’re called out for in Creegbrawse

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Creegbrawse

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Creegbrawse

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
