Shower tray repair in Liskeard, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Liskeard and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Liskeard

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
