How we handle shower tray repair in St Keyne

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around St Keyne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in St Keyne

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from St Keyne

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover St Keyne?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Keyne and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in St Keyne?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
