Shower tray repair near Herodsfoot

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair in Herodsfoot, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

FAQs for Herodsfoot

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Herodsfoot?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL14 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work in Herodsfoot?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Herodsfoot and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Herodsfoot

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

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
