How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Tregurtha Downs, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Tregurtha Downs: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK, so Tregurtha Downs is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Common problems we fix in Tregurtha Downs

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Tregurtha Downs, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.
