Need shower tray repair in Goonhavern?

Goonhavern: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Shower tray repair in Goonhavern without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

When to call us in Goonhavern

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Same prices wherever you are
