Shower tray repair in Newlyn

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newlyn

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newlyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Common problems we fix in Newlyn

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
