Shower tray repair for Trevenson homes

Shower tray repair in Trevenson without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trevenson

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

We cover the whole UK, including Trevenson and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Trevenson, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: 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 where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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