Need shower tray repair in St Buryan?

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

St Buryan: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in St Buryan.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much does shower tray repair cost in St Buryan?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR19 postcode.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need shower tray repair in St Buryan?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 usually cheaper.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in St Buryan

If you manage property in St Buryan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
