About our shower tray repair in Lizard

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

Common questions in Lizard

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Do you work in Lizard?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lizard. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Lizard?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lizard?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR12 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Lizard get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Lizard?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lizard

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
