Shower tray repair in Illogan Highway

Shower tray repair at your home in Illogan Highway

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Illogan Highway

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Illogan Highway

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
