Shower tray repair near Trencreek

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Trencreek get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shower tray repair in Trencreek, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Trencreek

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Trencreek. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Trencreek?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Signs you need shower tray repair in Trencreek

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Trencreek

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trencreek use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
