Shower tray repair for Trevowah homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Trevowah

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Trevowah and across Cornwall.

When to call us in Trevowah

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

FAQs for Trevowah

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
