Your questions about shower tray repair in Tregidden

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Tregidden?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR12 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What affects the price in Tregidden

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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 normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tregidden

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
