Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Kelly Bray, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Kelly Bray questions

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take 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. 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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kelly Bray, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelly Bray

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
