How we handle shower tray repair in Tresavean

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tresavean. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

Do you need shower tray repair in Tresavean?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tresavean

Common questions in Tresavean

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through 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. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
