Trusted shower tray repair in Upton Towans

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Upton Towans

Questions from Upton Towans

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you work in Upton Towans?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upton Towans. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Upton Towans?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
