Truro: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Truro

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Truro

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
