Shower tray repair in Tresillian, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

When to call us in Tresillian

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Tresillian: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Tresillian?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR2 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Landlord and trade work in Tresillian

For anyone letting property in or around Tresillian, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
