You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Perranwell

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Perranwell. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Perranwell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Perranwell as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Perranwell

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Perranwell clients choose us

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Perranwell

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
