All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Fraddon

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Fraddon

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Fraddon and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens next?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Fraddon

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fraddon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Fraddon?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
