How we handle shower tray repair in Wheal Rose

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wheal Rose

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wheal Rose

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Wheal Rose: your questions answered

Do you cover Wheal Rose?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wheal Rose from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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