Shower tray repair for Hendra homes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

About our shower tray repair in Hendra

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Hendra questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, Hendra included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Hendra

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hendra. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Hendra

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
