Common questions in Ponsanooth

Are there extra charges for Ponsanooth?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Ponsanooth

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Ponsanooth

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ponsanooth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
