Shower tray repair in Trenoweth

Shower tray repair in Trenoweth, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Trenoweth and across Cornwall.

When to call us in Trenoweth

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Trenoweth

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
