Book shower tray repair in Dunveth

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from Dunveth

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover Dunveth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dunveth and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunveth

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. 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.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunveth. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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