Shower tray repair near Tremethick Cross

Shower tray repair in Tremethick Cross without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What affects the price in Tremethick Cross

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Tremethick Cross questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Repairing versus replacing in Tremethick Cross

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Tremethick Cross

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tremethick Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
