Common questions in Penwithick

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Penwithick?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Penwithick

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we are called out for in Penwithick

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.
