Shower tray repair at your home in Nansladron

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nansladron

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Nansladron questions

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK, and that includes Nansladron. Prices do not change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Nansladron

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

  • How many items we do on one visit

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
