About our shower tray repair in Delabole

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Delabole

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Delabole. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Delabole questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Delabole and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

When to call us in Delabole

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
